Guest Towel vs. Paper Towel: Which Is Better For Leaving A Nice Impression?

Guest Towel vs. Paper Towel: Which Is Better For Leaving A Nice Impression?

From busy offices to luxury hotels, single-use towels are the recommended way to dry your hands in places like venues and medical facilities. Not all disposable towels are created the same, though. When choosing between standard paper towels and single-use guest towels, your choice is shaped by the guest experience you want to offer.

Choosing Between Guest Towels and Paper Towels

Benefits of Guest Towels

Bloomingoods dark blue guest towels are in a wicker-style paper towel holder. The holder sits on the sink in a guest bathroom. Lotion and hand soap are in the background.

Ultra soft and absorbent, guest towels are crafted to look and feel similar to real cloth. These high-quality single-use towels add a sophisticated touch to any restroom or lounge, so you make a great first impression every time.

Typically measuring around 12”x17” unfolded, they’re the perfect size for drying your hands (or face after that relaxing spa treatment). If you want to serve comfort that doesn’t give up convenience, disposable guest towels deliver.

Benefits of Paper Towels

If you’re trying to make the more economical choice, standard paper towels could be the right option. When you’re on a tight budget and can only prioritize convenience, stock up with regular paper towels.

How To Shop For Guest Towels

Searching for the right guest towels for your facility? These are the main qualities to look for:

  • Thickness: You want a guest towel with potent absorbency, on par with the thickness of a cloth towel. When looking at product specifications, look at its size folded and unfolded so you can get a sense of how this towel will perform in your facility.
  • Materials: Towels that are made from premium quality, eco-friendly sources mean you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to shop your values. Plus, thick, high-quality guest towels, like Naptec’s 3-ply designs from brands like Naperee, hold up when wet. (You won’t get the same quality from a single-ply or even a two-ply paper towel.)
  • Colors: Sometimes, a simple white towel just doesn’t match the vibe of your business. As you search for options, aim for brands that also use high-quality dyes so your carefully-selected colors don’t run on your guests’ hands.
  • Customization: Branded towels tell your guests they’re in the hands of professionals. Look for vendors with customization options that put your best brand image forward.
  • Wholesale ordering: Refilling your supply of guest towels shouldn’t be a hassle. Suppliers that offer wholesale ordering mean you never have to worry about running out.
